The Mainstay of the Late Ming Dynasty: from Civilian Civilians to Emperors of All Nations

In the winter of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the small glacier froze the northern country, the red land of Shaanxi and Shanxi was thousands of miles away, and refugees starved to death everywhere. The salaries of the Nine Borders were cut off and corrupted, and the Iron Cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty broke through the customs every year; the party disputes in the court fester, and the three levels of salary exploited the people; the officials and gentry swallowed up grain and avoided taxes, and smuggling in the sea frontier became common. After three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty stood on the precipice of subjugation. Shen Yanzhi, who has a double master's degree in history and public administration, was once a scholar who was a poor refugee in northern Shaanxi. He was hungry and cold, and his life was hanging by a thread. On the roadside of Huangshan Mountain, he accidentally encountered the Jinyiwei fanzi who was ambushed and was about to die. When he was in danger, he was entrusted with a top-secret corruption and relief case. He took over the black waistband and entered the troubled times as a temporary agent fanzi. No system, no plug-ins, just relying on institutional knowledge and iron-blooded methods, starting from gathering more than a hundred refugees: Investigate rural corruption, destroy county corruption, and tear apart the tax-free privileges of the gentry; Abolish the guard posts, build a new army, eliminate the bandits and purge the officialdom; Enter the capital, break up party strife, and crush the hereditary pattern of honors; Conquering Mobei, expanding into Siberia, restoring the Western Regions of Han and Tang Dynasties, going to the South China Sea to conquer the Western Ocean, and establishing the Ming Dynasty's dual hegemony on land and sea. From a homeless commoner, to a feudal official, to the chief minister of the cabinet, and to an important minister. The six ties of troubled times accompany him throughout the mountains and rivers; his loyal heart, the mainstay of his life, will eventually create the prosperous age of China. He will never usurp the throne and live up to China.
